Abstract

An article of clothing designed to also function as a traveling entertainment center, preferably for a child. The clothing may be reversible with at least one pocket, preferably eight total pockets, four on each side. Toy attachment straps can be buttoned onto each clothing front side. A hidden button system means the strap is on the outside accessible by the child, but the button attachment is on the inside of the clothing hidden under a pocket. This keeps the strap safe and secure. The bottom of each strap has a fastener loop, preferably Velcro. This strap design allows for adding and removing toys manufactured for the clothing, as well as the user's own toys, including pacifiers, rattles and rings. The fastener loop is easily opened and closed to remove and secure toys. The back of the clothing may include a flap-covered loop for attaching a child-leash system. Thus a considerably more versatile article of clothing is provided that can be converted into an entertainment center that travels with the wearer.
